The Saint of Bright Doors

Reviews

“By turns mythic and modern, The Saint of Bright Doors delivers a spellbinding labyrinth of mysteries...A hypnotic and intricate debut.” —Sequoia Nagamatsu, bestselling author of How High We Go in the Dark

“I've never seen a fantasy world like this, and I've never met a hero like Fetter. Both will haunt me for a long, long time. Keeps on dropping bombs and surprises and brilliance and heartbreak to the very end.” —Sam J. Miller, author of Blackfish City

“A book that explores how marvelously and brutally humanity remakes the world.” —Indrapramit Das, author of The Devourers

“Riveting, surreal, clever and wise and all-too real—a breathtaking achievement.” —Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula-Award winning author of This Is How You Lose the Time War

“Layered, lush and lyrical, at once wholly original and unmistakably South Asian. A fascinating debut from a thunderous talent.” —Samit Basu, author of The City Inside

“The Saint of Bright Doors will slip a knife into you the way only the best literature does. It’s the kind of book that makes you a better thinker and a better feeler, even if it’s at the cost of making you a little more haunted.” —Natalia Theodoridou, World Fantasy Award-winning author

“Weirder than Miéville, as deeply humane and philosophical as Le Guin, The Saint of Bright Doors is a tale of belief and myth and story and grief layered with the dense, brilliant luminosity of an oil painting.” —Premee Mohamed, author of Beneath the Rising
